http://yam.ch/ticket/463#463: Wrong german umlauts in Mail subject and bodyMon, 25 Nov 2013 21:59:06 GMTopiopi<p>
YAM's support for german umlauts seems to be broken, steps to reproduce:
</p>
<ol><li>Click "New".
</li><li>Type as Subject and in the body e.g. "äöü"
</li><li>Click "Send later".
</li><li>go to the outgoing folder and double click the just created mail.
</li><li>see what happen: here i see ??? in the Subject and body.
</li></ol><p>
I attach such mail with xxx as my address.
</p>
<p>
My charset in the config is set to: <acronym title="International Organization for Standardization">ISO</acronym>-8859-1 + Euro

http://yam.ch/ticket/7#7: Handling of charsets (e.g. UTF-8) when using external editor.Wed, 03 Mar 2010 14:10:34 GMTemptystate@…<p>
When receiving an email with a charset that is not supported by the font system (I think, I don't know how YAM is detecting this charset), YAM shows a question mark for every character that is not standard <acronym title="American Standard Code for Information Interchange">ASCII</acronym>. When YAM passes this mail to an external program or saves as a file it still replaces the characters with question marks. YAM should not replace these characters in these situations.
</p>
<p>
For example, my friend recently sent me an email in UTF-8 with an attachment. Their MUA decided to package the text as base64. In YAM when I read this mail I get "????? ?? ????" etc in the message window. If I save the displayed message I get the same "????? ?? ????" etc, if I save the raw message I get base64. If I try to reply and call an external editor that can handle the character coding, YAM passes it the "????? ?? ????" text instead of the original text.
</p>
<p>
Just <acronym title="For your information...">FYI</acronym>, this did not occur in YAM 2.4.

http://yam.ch/ticket/9#9: Wrong UTF-8 SupportWed, 03 Mar 2010 14:29:03 GMTopiopi<p>
Hi Develoers
</p>
<p>
I think YAM does not support the UTF-8 encoding correct.
</p>
<p>
Here is a Step by Step example:
</p>
<ol><li>Write a new Mail (Type and To and Subject).
</li><li>Switch to the Options Tab.
</li><li>Select UTF-8 as Charset.
</li><li>Switch back to the Message Tab.
</li><li>Type some non <acronym title="American Standard Code for Information Interchange">ASCII</acronym> Letters (e.g. the Euro Sign and ��� ��� �).
</li><li>Click "Hold".
</li><li>Switch to the Outguing Folder.
</li><li>Select the Mail you just wrote.
</li><li>Click Read in the Toolbar.
</li><li>Look at the Content-Type it's text/plain; charset=UTF-8 11. But in the Mail you see "? ? ???" but it should "� ��� ��� �"
</li></ol><p>
The cause it that YAM does not encode the Mail to UTF-8 if you click on the "Hold" Button. If you then open the Mail for Read YAM seems to try to decode the UTF-8 Mail but can't find any UTF-8 sequence and you see the question marks.
</p>
<p>
Hope anybody can fix that...
</p>

http://yam.ch/ticket/6#6: charset issue in mail listviewsWed, 03 Mar 2010 14:06:22 GMTexie_czex@…<p>
Czech and Slovak localization of AmigaOS 3.x upto OS3.9 use so called Amiga-E2 encoding. Recently external charset table was created for codesets.library.
</p>
<p>
Header and mail body are displayed correctly but mail recipient (To), mail sender (From) and subject in mail listviews contains wrong characters. I guess the same problem apply to other non-standard encodings too.
